‘The Production of Otherness’

Traductor de Google:

Art and design. The exhibition shows how social, cultural and aesthetic norms create what is considered to be ‘normality’ and at the same time establish what is not.

The Production of Otherness is an exercise in undoing history to enable us to move forward on contemporary terms, exploring through artistic practices and design the critical decoding of the production of standards as a naturalisation process in the production of otherness, or ‘othering’, and by undoing this ‘othering’, articulate possibilities for resilience.

As we trace the archaeology of an object, a narrative, a diet, any kind of cultural ritual, a monument, a piece, a natural resource, a typography, a sound, a colour or an infrastructure, intricate stories emerge with a complete set of rules which have naturalised multiple processes of differentiation, segregation, hierarchisation, and othering. Whether it is through language and representation, gender or racial categorisations, memory models and historiographies, or even disciplinary definitions, defining what is ‘normal’ and therefore what is ‘other’, consolidates the construction of otherness.
